(I'm pretty sure anyone reading this knows the following already, but just to spell it out)
It seems they have a product that will deliver an overall benefit to the average consumer, who by the way, is not generally interested in the “electrical engineering” viewpoint of statistics and graphs showing whether or not it achieves the up to 8 x maximum output that was first quoted over 2 years ago?
I’m sure most people would agree that you need to get over your ongoing obsession about the whole “up to 8x” deal. Quite obviously, it was an exited claim about one individual test 2 ½ years ago and has been pursued by you ever since.
They were still proclaiming the 'Up to 8x' spiel right up until the week before the product had started to ship, which they then changed to 'increased significantly'. Probably because they were informed by their lawyers that the 8x claim would run afoul of the various advertising authority and trading standards laws. So it's erroneous to say that it was an exaggerated claim after a single test and that the 'crazies on the EEVBlog #751' [sic] are latching on to it as a way to point out the products failings.
Remember, that figure was the cornerstone of their marketing campaign for the last 2.5 years! For them to change it at the very last minute just reinforces the belief that it was grade A bullshit in the first place.
Your average person just wants a product that delivers a meaningful benefit at a reasonable price. If it works for them, they will buy again and also recommend it to others.
If not – good bye!!!
The market will decide, which, technically makes you lot completely irrelevant!
That's a good point and very shortsighted of Wayne. What do you think will happen when consumers do finally get their hands on this product, only to find out that it does not perform as claimed? Do you think they will be recommending it to friends? So really, it doesn't matter what is said here, people will buy the product, see that it's junk and not recommend it.
Anyway, try not to troll the innocent commenter’s on Indiegogo too much and stay focused on your real goal, which is...........- WTF is it really?
This bit got me thinking?
Suddenly it clicked - !!!!

Righto, so now I realise it’s just somebody else on the gravy train! How many gullible people will be jumping on board?
Enough said.
Pot, kettle, black. Wayne is now jumping on EEVBlogs 'gravy train' to try and sell his stock. I can guarantee that EEVBlog gets more visits per day that Revive Batteries. So unfortunately, the more hoo-hah that Wayne gets on this forum means more views for him, and he knows this.
Is it irony that Wayne is trying to call out Dave on this by saying 'It's a big scam to make money for the EEVBlog', when in reality that's *exactly* what Wayne is trying to do?
Just try the Batteroos for yourself and make up your own mind.
That's exactly the entire point of this thread, we want to see a qualified engineer test these things properly, but it seems no one wants to let us get access to them. You don't need a tinfoil hat to see why Wayne & Batteroo are both very, very reluctant for this to happen.
